Dear Friends, Happy 62nd Anniversary ZAOGA FIFMI!! NATIONAL YOUTH CONFERENCE The grace of God was on us, as witnessed by a steady attendance of 2200 on Thursday to a high of 6500+ on Sunday during the just-ended Zimbabwe National Youth Conference (NYC). The conference was held in the new 8000 seater. In accordance with the guidance from our father that the Youth be involved in mainline Church activities, the success of this conference is credited to planning by Youths, including all the 36 provincial Youth chairpersons with some guidance came from the Youth Advisors and Pastors. God miraculously increased the seemingly little food that it sufficed for all the delegates. Some delegates from Zambia, UK, Lesotho and Mozambique graced the conference. Holy Spirit infilling, Career guidance and Deliverance sessions ran throughout the conference, including exhibitions for banking and professional qualifications aimed at Youths. The general objective was to instill good morals and virtues in the Youths of ZAOGA FIF. 170 youths spoke in tongues for the first time, through the Holy Spirit. Several were delivered from spiritual bondage. To cap it, our father the Apostle and Servant of God Prof Ezekiel Guti, graced the conference on the Saturday night service and the Sunday service. His message included that when the Kingdom of God comes, all elements of darkness such as witchcraft and mysterious experiences just vanish on their own. He also encouraged the youths to shun fornication and exercise self-control. What an honor it was to have our father with us. One hundred and fourteen youths gave their lives to Christ. USA Oregon - We had yet another exciting Sunday service. We thank God that all the people we started with continue to come and are testifying that they are experiencing the presence of God in our services. Sunday attendance was 24 people. 18 adults and youths. Apostle Zenas gave a powerful teaching on Baptism and 9 people are ready to be baptized. We trust that we will be able to go ahead with the Baptism next week. The church has been successfully registered in Oregon and we are in the process of opening a bank account for the Oregon church. Our prayer request is for our members not to work on Sundays and for more people to come. CYPRUS We want to thank God for allowing us to partake in the grace of working 2022 Covenant Kingdom Talents as a nation. Many people grasped the teaching of Talents by starting businesses and working with their hands. Talents has opened many people's eyes, causing our believers to experience the benefits of serving this God of our Father Apostle Ezekiel Guti.

Hence, our numbers are ranging from 200 to 250 in Lefkosa; 80 to 100 in Lefke, 25 to 40 in Magusa and 20 to 30 in Girne.

One brother who was suffering from diabetes was prayed for by our Pastors and confirmed by the doctors that he no longer has that sickness anymore.

There was great jubilation on the last day as members showcased what they had learned throughout the workshop in fulfilling the vision God gave to His servant and Apostle.

This week:
TEACHING: PART OF BABA & AMAI'S MESSAGE Talents is a school where you are trained on how to do business and become an entrepreneur. Therefore, we go for attachment, to practice what we have been taught, and thereafter do our own, God blessing us. We then use the same method we used during attachment with the same dedication when doing Home Talents. What worries me is that after talents for God’s project, people just sit and do nothing, but we have to work as hard when we are working home talents. When you have your own project now, this is when you can then partner with God and give tithes, and as you do that your life becomes more and more blessed. God bless you. |
We love you and are praying for you, Apostle Drs Steve & La-Verne Simukai ZAOGA Forward In Faith Ministries Int. +263 777 282 356, +263 777 282 092 info@fifmi.org | www.fifmi.org |
